Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parkerand Kathy Najimi are back as the Sanderson sisters in a sequel to the beloved Hocus Pocus movie coming just in time for this Halloween season and streaming on Disney+. The streamer posted the official Hocus Pocus 2 trailer during the D23 expo on Friday September 9th.

The trailer begins with the creepy Reverend shouting “I’m banishing you from Salem forever!” as we see three young girls running away in the forest. A screaming bird transforms into a witch who informs the girls “They were right to fear you, magic has a way of uniting.” This witch is none other than Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham. While we still don’t know her character’s name, the trailer reveals that she’s the witch who gives the young Sanderson sisters the living spellbook – the key to their magical powers.

Jump to 370 years later, and we’re introduced to the shopkeeper (Sam Richardson) bequeaths the black flame candle to two teenage girls, played by Peak Whitney (Gossip Girl) and Belissa Escobedo (American Horror Stories), which unwittingly summon Winifred Sanderson and her sisters, Sarah and Mary, from the dead.

“Lock up your children! Yes, Salem, we’re back! Midler proclaims in his unmistakable Winifred howl. The three witches have soul theft to do if they plan to live past sunrise, and it’s up to the high school girls to stop them. The film will premiere Friday, September 30 on Disney+.

The sequel also features Doug Jones, Lilia Buckingham, Hannah Waddingham, Tony Hale, Juju Brener, Froy Gutierrez, Taylor Paige Henderson and Nina Kitchen. the OG Hocus Pocus is about a curious youngster who moves to Salem, where he struggles to fit in before awakening a trio of evil witches who were executed in the 17th century. When it was released in 1993, it was not a box office blockbuster, losing an estimated $16.5 million at Disney. It has since become a beloved Halloween cult classic.

Hocus Pocus 2 is directed by Anne Fletcher (Proposal) and produced by Lynn Harris (King Richard). Ralph Winter (Hocus Pocus), David Kirschner (Hocus Pocus), and Adam Shankman (Disillusioned) serve as executive producers.
